Poomaz Peace Palace - Ella

Got the suite with four beds, very spacious and in a good location away from the loud music but close enough to walk to all the restaurants and bars.

Enjoy food, nice place

Accès assez facile Emplacement parfait près du centre ville pour rayonner à pied et randonner Accueil chaleureux Chambre simple mais efficace avec petite terrasse ou est servi le déjeuner Salle de bain petite mais très fonctionnelle. Petit déjeuner style sri lankais parfait Possibilité de laisser les valises lors de visite extérieures

Luxury in Ella This place is incredible! We were a little worried when our driver initially dropped us off with our bags at the bottom of the steep road and said the road was too tight for the minivan to get through. We walked a little further than we should have, but we found the hotel and as we were escorted to our room our mouths dropped. The room is incredible! We were 3 people, but this place was clearly meant for 6. Two king beds on either side of a little staircase that took you up to 2 single beds (loft style). This place would be perfect for friends or a family with kids. We almost wanted to cancel the rest of our trip and stay longer. The room itself has a seating area, a kitchenette, a small fridge. The bathroom is provided with shower gel and shampoo (these are luxuries that are not provided in all hotels in Sri Lanka). The set up feels more like a guesthouse than a hotel room. The location is wonderfully located next to all the restaurants and the shopping. We took a walk in the evening and had dinner at Chill Cafe (which was recommended to us twice by locals in different cities). Definitely can't wait to go back to Poomaz Peace Palace.

If you are planning to stay in a "Hotel", trust me, this is not a hotel. No reception, no phone in the room, no room service. It mostly looks like an Airbnb, not a hotel. We got a key (not a card) when we arrived. The water heater is working with solar energy which is good, but we couldn't take a shower in the mornings or nights, because the water was cold. We had a room with balcony, but we found out that this balcony is shared with other rooms. Cons: 1- about 100m steep climb. Really steep. 2- No reception, no room service. 3- old fashioned door, windows, etc. 4- No hot water at the night and early morning.

Central location in Ella We stayed at the Poomaz Peace palace for 3 nights. The accommodation is within minutes of the main street and because of the close proximity you can hear the live music each night. However the music usually does stop by 23:00. The room was spacious and clean and offers a fridge, kettle, hair dryer, soap, towels and has a shared balcony where breakfast is served each morning. The wifi connection was good and Poorna the owner was very responsive and available via whats app for any requests or problems. ( We made a request for a spare blanket and a take away breakfast on our last morning. Both requests were facilitated efficiently) Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Poomaz peace palace. The only niggle I had about the room was the placements of the plug sockets meant that you aren't able to charge your phone from the bedside. I would recommend Poomaz peace palace to anyone who wants to be close to Ella centre.
